JSB Partners is an executive search firm founded in July of 1998 by partners Joseph S. Barr and Barry Taitz. Both are licensed CPAs and bring extensive work experience to their company which encompasses a combined 24 years of experience, both in executive search and public accounting. This includes their respective audit and tax backgrounds at top tier accounting firms Eisner, LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP. Their staff of executive recruiters each have an average tenure of five years at JSB, with work experience at many of the top firms as well, including Deloitte & Touche, LLP, Ernst & Young, LLP, Goldstein Golub Kessler/American Express, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Perry Capital and Goldman, Sachs & Co.

The majority of searches conducted by JSB are for professionals working as accounting, tax, audit, and operations. JSB has maintained a reputation for their accuracy in placing candidates in a timely manner. Their unique ability to quickly assess search criteria and successfully match candidate with client is recognized by many top-ranking executives throughout the financial services industry. Their strong, long-standing relationships with many of Wall Street's prominent CPAs, CFOs and Senior Executives (CEOs, CIOs, Portfolio Managers, etc.) allows them better access to the entire landscape of quality jobs available at any given time.

Since it's inception in 1998 JSB has grown steadily, expanding its executive search parameters to include other industries outside of financial services; however, the financial services arena is still the firm's primary target. In fact, most placements made by JSB are in the specialized field of Alternative Asset Management (Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Fund of Funds, etc.). Clients and candidates continue to turn to JSB for their efficient and timely recommendations in this specialized category. Recommendations that have proven to be more fine-tuned and focused than those of their competition.
